Henderson, NV – During September, Henderson Libraries will celebrate Library Card Sign Up Month by offering a World Champions-themed library card featuring hometown favorite, the Las Vegas Aces! These exclusive, limited edition library cards will be available at all Henderson Libraries locations starting September 3. As part of this collaboration, Henderson Libraries will host a celebratory event in mid-September.
In Las Vegas since 2018, the Las Vegas Aces have won the last two Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) championships. They have already sold the entirety of their ticket inventory for the 2024 season and have become the first team in the league’s history to sell out of their regular season games.
“Henderson Libraries is thrilled to partner with the Las Vegas Aces on this initiative,” says Henderson Libraries Executive Director Marcie Smedley. “In addition to the Las Vegas Aces being back-to-back WNBA champions, they’re amazing women who continually provide inspiration to our community in a number of ways. Their emphasis on literacy development, as well as education, mirrors that of our organization and we are grateful for their dedication in these important arenas. We can’t wait to see what they accomplish next!”
If you already have a card, don’t worry! Friends of Henderson Libraries is graciously sponsoring the cost for the first 500 people who would like to replace their existing Henderson Libraries card with the new Las Vegas Aces card. Just visit any Henderson Libraries location beginning September 3 to exchange your card. For those registering for a new library account, the first library card is free.
“The Aces are proud to partner with Henderson Libraries! Together, we are rolling out the first ever Aces branded Library cards for our community,” says Las Vegas Aces Chief Strategy Officer Blair Hardiek. “The Aces organization and players believe that early childhood readers turn into successful leaders. The Aces are excited to help motivate the next generation though our partnership and support of Henderson Libraries.”
Declared and celebrated by the American Library Association and libraries all across the country since 1987, the month of September is dedicated to reminding people of all ages that a library card isn’t just the latest fall fashion. Having a library card grants access to literacy services, technology, educational programming and a number of resources.
